We try our best to offer learning opportunities that fit the lifestyles of our customers and the workflow of our staff. We apologize if you weren’t able to attend one of our classes, but know that they were recorded and are available to watch anytime on our Shonnard’s Nursery YouTube channel!
If you weren’t able to make a class, or attended a class but have forgotten some of the information, then here is a go-to list of the recordings! Each class is about an hour long, and possibly a little longer depending on questions asked at the end of the class.
Get yourself a cup of your favorite beverage, a pen and notepad, and learn a few new pieces of information that you can put into action this growing season!
